Man sentenced to jail for racism against Brazilian Indians 4 October 2011

Guarani inhabitants from the Ypo'i community, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The lives and livelihood of the Guarani Indians in Mato Grosso do Sul are being seriously damaged by the denial of land rights.

The Guarani’s demands for their ancestral lands to be returned to them and its occupants’ refusal to give way has created ethnic divisions in the area. Several Guarani have been killed after leading their communities to reoccupy their land.
